[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1264297, member: 54963"] To answer the OP's question: In my opinion trying to calculate CBTO based on COAL is not wise reloading. I guess you could attempt it, but it is "Best Practice" to actually MEASURE CBTO. For example, you could load 10 rounds with the same CBTO length and most of these rounds could possibly have different COAL measurements, using the same bullets. I personally use the Hornady Comparator and it works well for me. I am sure there are other brands that work just fine as well. You are sorta 'flying blind' without a comparator of some type to measure CBTO. I recommend you buy one. They are very inexpensive for the value that you get from it. Hope this helps and good luck [/QUOTE]
